ASW (Anti-submarine Warfare) Systems

Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems are technologies used by naval forces to detect, track, and neutralize enemy submarines. These systems include sonar (underwater sound sensors), which listen for submarine sounds, and **magnetic anomaly detectors** that sense disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field caused by a submarine’s metal hull. ASW also uses aircraft and ships equipped with torpedoes, depth charges, and advanced radar and sonar systems to locate and destroy submarines before they can pose a threat. Overall, ASW aims to maintain control of strategic waterways and protect maritime assets from underwater threats.
